To overcome these challenges
The nut mix maker turned to ProAmpac, a leader in flexible packaging solutions, for help. ProAmpac recommended their ProActive Recyclable films, which are designed to run at high speeds on HFFS machines with gas flush hermeticity.
ProAmpac worked closely with the nut mix manufacturer to test and optimize the ProActive Recyclable films on their HFFS machine.
The results were impressive and included the following:
- The speed of the HFFS machine was increased to 90-95 cycles per minute
- The ProActive Recyclable films provided excellent seals and gussets, with no leakers or defects
- The oxygen and moisture barrier of the ProActive Recyclable films prevented spoilage
- The recyclable reclose feature enhanced the consumer experience, as well as the ability to be applied to recyclable films at high-speed lines
By switching to ProActive Recyclable films, the nut mix packer achieved several benefits including reducing their environmental footprint by switching to the recyclable film for their standup pouches and improving their efficiency/productivity by running their HFFS machine at higher speeds.
